These often represent slowed blood flow through the area due to nasal allergies/irritants. It is more cosmetic than problem. Nasal rinses with saline or use of steroid nasal sprays can reduce the intensity in some.

I agree, other conditions include hereditary tendency, anemia. Consider allergy testing and avoid common allergens and smoke.

My 6 month old daughter has itchy spells and when they start her nose, ears and eyes just get red. She doesn't have a rash but you can see it's irritating by the way she rubs her ears and eyes. Is it safe to use allergy medication on her?
